@Tenjin37151 @Space_Station @SpaceX @Commercial_Crew @NASA @esa @JAXA_en @astro_kimbrough @Astro_Megan @Thom_astro @Aki_Hoshide As described in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress (great book), a linear accelerator would be great for the moon. Earth’s gravity is too high & atmosphere too dense for accelerators to be a good solution vs reusable boosters imo.

@BasedBeffJezos @Scobleizer @trengriffin The difficulty of communicating with Mars varies tremendously, with the worst case being when it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth. For terabit-level bandwidth, the best option is probably a series of laser communication satellites at varying distances from the Sun…

It’s very hard. I’m spending crazy hours on Starship design/production. It is truly an honor to work with such great engineers. SN4 is almost done 😀

@Erdayastronaut @NASASpaceflight @BocaChicaGal @TheFavoritist The ship rings are thicker than they need to be (for now), so same thickness works for booster & ship for hoop stress. Booster lower tank will have longitudinal stiffeners to prevent buckling.

@Erdayastronaut @SciGuySpace Last launch aborted due to slightly high power. Possibly, but not obviously, related to today. This vehicle has seen a lot of wear, so today isn’t a big surprise. Life leader rockets are used only for internal missions. Won’t risk non-SpaceX satellites.

@Erdayastronaut @PPathole @SpaceX We’re pretty close to the manufacturing size limit for a milled copper & steel jacket nozzle. Lot of complexity to add a nozzle extension to a sea level engine for small gain. Also hard to fit bigger engine nozzles on the booster.

@Erdayastronaut @rweb11742 Merlin is a strong local maximum design, but kerosene is suboptimal fuel, no matter what you do. What matters is cost per ton to Mars. CH4 is the only choice imo. Important: O2/CH4 allows OF ratio of ~3.5 vs ~2.5 for kerosene, so ~78% of propellant is oxygen.
